I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
My GSD Odin liked hot dinners. Used to sneak up behind the other dog as she was pooing and eat it straight from the source.

Just why?

She's always got her working head on, must bring back something and having seen you pick up poo is trying to give you something to do ?.

Other half has just told me about one of his collies finding a discarded nappy and pants full of sh1t, the dog was having a real good chew until other half realised what it was .
We live in the middle of nowhere and expect them to be chewing on the dead not poopy nappies

Apart from horse poo my two thankfully don’t eat poo .
They do however roll and as foxes and badgers liver on our place they have loads of opportunities.
Dram knows he’s going to get a shower and he hates showers so he comes back half chuffed and half ears back because he knows he’s heading into the horse spa .

A friend of mine has a toddler. Him and his partner were in local play park with said toddler. She said that she needed to go "weewee" and they did not have time to get her to a toilet, so they took her to the nearby bushes. At which point they realized it wasn't a "weewee." My friend sprinted to the car to grab the portable potty they carry around (do all parents of toddlers do this?), leaving his partner and child.
When he returned a couple minutes later, potty in hand, he found his partner looking a little horrified, holding up their kid while shoving a very small dachshund wearing a santa suit with her foot. The toddler was saying excitedly, "Doggy ate the poo!" The poo, of course, was entirely vanquished. The potty was unnecessary.
The dog's elderly owner eventually came tottering up. No one said anything, but everyone knew what happened.
Later, when toddler did a poo at home, she proudly announced, "Doggy won't get it."

I’m starting to think it’s us and am getting a complex as a result a conversation with my mum revealed we had a Stafford who was a liability with my potty when I was very small too. They are all repulsive but we love them.
None have been as bad as the corgi’s though. If I was to work out percentages I’m sure they probably spend around 60% of their week either consuming, rolling in, being told off due to - some form of faecal matter. My remaining rough collie is utterly bemused by the whole affair. I can tell you from recent experience that badger is the most putrid thing and makes fox smell like walking into the body shop back in the day.

Ok I am going to have to muzzle her. At night in the dark they all tear off down the paddock for a quiet few minutes. Red will then not come back as she has to go and find it all.
I can’t be doing with this. She’s back in the kennel full time (was coming in the house when Scout does, in the evenings) as I won’t bring a dog in the house that has crammed so much shit in its mouth it’s squidging out through her teeth.
So, which muzzle? Anti vet dog used to wear a sort of fabric cone to save anyone from getting hurt but I assume she needs one she can pant in.But won’t a basket one still allow her to suck it in?

Research looks like a Baskerville is the way to go. How do you size them? I’ve got vets tomorrow for jabs so they might advise.

My whippet does it.
We were at the local field a few days back and had got talking to a woman with a GSD. They had a good run about together and then the shepherd stopped for a poo....he literally took it before it hit the floor
dirty little sod.

So I measured around the top of her muzzle and it’s 28cm. So do I go larger? Thank you for help.

Just so you’re aware, I have seen some instances on a WCS group I follow where dogs are so determined to eat it they shove the muzzle in it…
Fingers crossed this doesn’t happen and it works for you though!

Our two terriers love a cat litter tray offering It had stopped until I accidentally bought different litter, one made of corn. Won’t be making that mistake again.
Our Labrador never ever eats or shows and interest at all in anything yuck, he has literally never rolled in anything (unlike someone small and brown I could mention!)
I’m very grateful to him for his cleanliness and forgive the mud he brings in now

This. Is. The. Best. Thread. Ever! 
I am of course only saying this because the hooligan tends to prefer rolling in it to eating it (thank god!) As for muzzles I fear whichever you try she may still try to shove the muzzle in it so would probably pick one that is easy to clean (I guess a fabric one you could wang in the washing machine but a plastic one could be hosed down). You could try adding duct tape or vet wrap or similar to some of the slats on the Baskerville if she’s still managing to get some through the gaps but that would add to the cleaning dilemma if she still shoves the muzzle in it. I did hear an old wives tale once about feeding pineapple to make poo unpalatable but unsure if it works at all

Fais pas chier!
Went round the corner in the woods on Saturday to find Bear snout deep in some kind of diarrhoea. All up his nose, I was like wtf?! Avoided that corner yesterday. I was downwind of him for part of the walk, the smell was horrendous!

I don’t mind if she does shove it in (well I’d rather she didn’t
) but I’ll just hose it off… while she’s wearing it.

Why, why, WHY did I read this thread? 
I was aware that some dogs ate dog faeces, but have never met one that does, and had no idea some like it so 'fresh'.
All the dog's I've had have shown some interest in dried horse muck, and some were interested in rabbit or deer droppings, and one of my mum's dogs would go after the cat variety unless stopped, but that's as bad as I've had to live with.
I have only had one dog who rolled in faeces, once a fresh cowpat, but usually fox poo. The most bizarre/hilarious thing was that she'd roll in it like a thing possessed, doing a really good job at grinding it into her coat, but once she'd got up she'd look absolutely disgusted with the smell and almost surprised that that was the result of her actions (for the 100th time). She would have a truly horrified expression on her face for the entire walk home, and it wouldn't stop until she'd been washed off.
Good luck Clodagh, and you have my sympathies (in between gagging). I hope that the muzzle results in a speedily-reformed Red, but I don't think I'll be re-visiting this thread to find out
